Create an online account. This is a 2-step process which requires approval by the Coordinating Center on the same or next business day.
For paper proposals, allow roughly 4 weeks for full CHS approval, from the time you submit the proposal to notice of approval. For new ancillary study proposals, allow 4-6 weeks, depending on whether specimens or a subcontract are needed.
All manuscripts must be preceded by a proposal. Please submit a second paper proposal to the P&P with a note justifying the separation of previously approved analyses. In addition, please submit a revised proposal or analysis plan for the parent paper, so that the P&P can ensure that each paper will be a viable effort and so that the description online is accurate and up-to-date.
No - the DMDA is both project- and institution-specific; no one under a DMDA, or BioLINCC, or dbGaP approved project may take data from one institution to another (see DMDA clause 4. Non-transferability). You will need to sign a new agreement at your new institution, after which the CC will re-send you the data there.
